Acts 16:9-15: Paul travels to Philippi and meets Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, and converts her and her family to the Way of Christ. .....Seems like most of the people who are named in the Bible, except for the beggar Lazarus, are people with money. And after Constantine is converted, the main way Christianity is spread is a prince or king of a region is converted and then the whole region is de facto converted as Christianity is mostly all there is, at least in the West, but same principles apply to other areas and other religions. And the women go to church to keep the family on the straight and narrow, and the men go sometimes to keep the women happy. It's more of a cultural phenomenon than a spiritual or theological thing.
Revelation 19,22-22:5: the holy city Jerusalem coming out of the sky. There is no temple, because God is the temple. No need for sun or moon because God is the light. The crystal clear river of life flows thru the city and the tree of life bears a different fruit each month.
John 14:23-29: Jesus says the Holy Spirit will come and help you understand things when I am gone. So is the Holy Spirit the background radiation or the the neutrino wind that flows through the Universe? In reality, we don't have to believe in anything, our religion surrounds us all the time.
John 5:1-9: A man has been lying by the Bethzatha pool near the Sheep Gate for 38 years and Jesus heals him.
